From: Evolution of coding and non-coding genes in HOX clusters of a marsupial
Conserved miRNA and long non-coding RNAs analysis in the HOX A cluster. The conserved long non-coding RNAs, HOXA11AS and HOTAIRM1, and microRNA miR-196b were shown by mVISTA with comparison of mouse, tammar and frog against human HOX A cluster genomic sequence. The coding genes HOXA13, HOXA10, HOXA9, HOXA2 and HOXA1 are highly conserved in all species. Expression of tammar long non-coding RNAs in bone marrow and endometrium were confirmed by RT-PCR. The blue stands for coding regions, and the green for non-coding RNA regions whilst the pink represents conserved coding sequences. F, forward primer, R, reverse primer.
